If you are talking about thrill seeking and adventure, you’re probably thinking about New Zealand. It’s one of those lovable and enchanting places that gets just the right amount of hype. Somewhere among the Middle-earth landscapes, cool and hip cities, beaches, mountains, internationally renowned wines, and crazy numbers of sheep, there are a lot of adventures and good times to be had. Three weeks might seem like a very small amount of time, but New Zealand is one of those places where you can certainly pack a lot in. You might not see everything, but you can see a whole lot.
